00:00I have some worries about the testimonies of Kerwin Espinosa,
00:06considering that he testified in the Senate and now he's testifying in the House of Representatives.
00:15And then, basically, Kerwin, you are testifying now under oath that
00:22what you said in the Senate, some of those were not true because you were under duress. Am I correct?
00:31Yes, Mr. Chair.
00:32And including on those testimonies, if I'm not mistaken,
00:38a while ago, I was able to find out from Colonel Marcos that in the Senate,
00:44you mentioned 3 million and here you mentioned 4 million. Is that correct?
00:49What I said in the Senate, 4 million.
00:53Not 3 million?
00:55No.
00:57Colonel Marcos is lying.
00:59Wait. Colonel Marcos is lying.
01:01Yes.
01:03So, Colonel Marcos, you are under oath. You are lying under oath in here.
01:07Yes, sir. I have a record here on the Senate proceedings. It's saved on my cell phone.
01:13He said 3 million.
01:152, 1.5 million.
01:18I'm not lying, Mr. Chair.
01:20Will you confirm that, Kerwin?
01:24What I said in the Senate, 4 million.
01:30Can you kindly submit that to us?
01:32At least to test the credibility of the voters.
01:34I'm here, sir.
01:36What we wanted to find out in here is that we want to test the credibility of all the resource persons that we are inviting.
01:40We are not telling you, Kerwin, that the totality of your testimony is wrong right now in here.
01:46But we wanted to find out the veracity of all those statements that you have mentioned.
01:54Because the credibility of this Quadcom is at stake in here.
01:58And that's the reason why we wanted to know the validity of everything that you are saying.
02:04Considering also that you have filed your Certificate of Candidacy to run for the Mayor of Albuera, right?
02:12Yes, Mr. Chair.
02:15And at the same time, the reason why you appear in this hearing is to seek justice.
02:21Yes, sir. Exactly.
02:23What is your priority?
02:25What is your priority?
02:27Running as a Mayor or seeking the truth for your father?
02:31Justice for my father.
02:33I can support politics.
02:37So in other words, in seeking the truth
02:39and to prioritize in finding out the truth about the death of your father,
02:45you are willing to not run anymore?
02:47Yes, sir.
02:49So are you willing to withdraw your...
02:51I am willing to withdraw.
02:53In your fight for the Mayor?
02:55Yes, sir.
02:57Because you cannot blame us, Kerwin,
02:59if we think that there is mixed politics in everything that you are doing.
03:04The reason why I am very...
03:06very...
03:08what do you call this?
03:10I am a bit adamant
03:12on your intention on going in here.
03:14But most likely,
03:16if you are going to tell us
03:18that you are going to withdraw
03:20your fight for the Mayor,
03:22I might believe in what you are saying.
03:24But that will be based
03:26on all the answers
03:28that you will be giving us
03:30on the questions that I will be asking.
